Chocolate Lava Cakes

Over at Life As Mom, Jessica is having her readers share some of their favorite chocolate recipes. If you're a chocolate lover, head here and click on the links at the bottom of the post to see some tasty chocolate recipes.

I thought I'd share a recipe that I found in Family Circle awhile back for Chocolate Lava Cakes. The ingredients are simple. Chances are you have the stuff already at home. The original recipe called for bittersweet chocolate but for simplicity I just use a bag of chocolate chips (no chopping necessary). Also, you can make the cakes ahead of time and then warm them up in the microwave before serving. This is especially nice if you're going to be entertaining or making a special family dinner that takes awhile to prepare. I've made these a couple times for an at-home Valentine's Dinner.

This sounds yummy!!! Hey I use to live in Santa Ynez when I was a kid....my Dad got the main hotel in Solvang http://www.royalscandinavianinn.com/gallery.aspoff the ground in its first years. I think it has since been bought out by a family. I love it there. So pretty.

Bethany, welcome to my blog! I know of the Royal Scandinavian inn -- we walked thru there once to check it out (it's on the other end of town). At Christmas time they used to have an huge gingerbread house. I'm not sure if they still do. Last year, the hotel was purchased last year by the Chumash Band of Indians - I don't know if they kept up the tradition this year.
